Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cupcakes

Okay let me start by saying I am NOT a pumpkin fan. BUT my wife loves pumpkin, well scratch that, my entire family loves pumpkin. So we had a can of pumpkin laying around the house and I thought, well let’s make something creative with it. The result was so good, even I was eating them. The texture of the cake is amazing, the frosting, oh the frosting. It was an amazing creation and one that we will be repeating for many years to come. The other great thing about this recipe, shhhh don’t tell anyone, it only costs about $6-$7 to make!!

This is a pumpkin cream cheese cupcake topped with a homemade pumpkin icing. Yea if you like pumpkin (and even if you don't) you'll LOVE this recipe.

Recipe type: Dessert

Serves: 12-15

Ingredients

Cupcake

1 box of spice cake mix

4 oz cream cheese

1 egg

¾ can of pumpkin

Icing

4-6 cups of powder sugar (depending on frosting consistency

4 oz of cream cheese

1 tsp of nutmeg (or to taste)

1 tsp of cinnamon (or to taste)

¼ can of pumpkin

Instructions

This can't be more simple, to make the cupcake you will combine all ingredients.

Mix thoroughly and transfer to cupcake pan

Cook for 12-15 on 350 degrees

The icing is a little more tricky. The pumpkin has a lot of moisture, so to solve that problem, we placed the ¼ can of pumpkin on some paper towels in a bowl. Within about 30 minutes, most of the moisture was out of the pumpkin.

Then you combine all ingredients.

Beat icing on medium until light and fluffy.

If the icing is a little 'soupy' add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
